THE MISSING WORD. The two easy words which were promised in the contest Friday were "bond” from Curley's, and "Sether” from the Sether ad. An in the two hundred or more answers which were opened by the editor fully sixty per cent were correct. The first correct answer found was that belonging to .Miss Ireta Butler, residing at 1211 West Monroe street, this city, and orders to the amount of $5 await her demand. While the high prize probably caused some of the answers, there are still over half of the contest prizes to be given away and you should get an answer in on the contest appearing tonight and win a dollar, anyhow. You have until Wednesday noon to get in your answers. James Fristoe will return to Warsaw tomorrow after spending several days here on business. Rosa Voglewede returned Sunday from Duluth, Minn., -where she was enjoying her vacation for over a week past. Blanche Hart of Fort Wayne, who accompanied her, also returned. While there they were shown through the great copper mines, showing the mineral in its many stages, and they were given a large penny as a souvenir of their sight-seeing. Since the identity of one of the socalled "women in black” has been learned, Decatur night pedestrians are not so alarmed over every long, black shadow that casts Its fearful length along the way. A party of boys lay in wait for the approach of the blackrobed being and were delighted to f'nd that their surmises were correct, the "woman” being a well-known young man of this city, jealous of his lady-love, calls upon whom had been denied him by objecting parents. o — See the Bowers-Niblick Grain company before selling your hay. 185tf

IN MEMORIAM. Mary Ann Archbold was born in Harrison county, Ohio, February 17, 1827. She came to Adams county, Indiana, with her father and mother in the fall of 1835. On the 18th day of October, 1849, she was married to Charlee W. Merryman, who died In 1870, soon after the close of the war of the rebellion. She was the mother of six children —Jonathan, Eliza J., James T., Zachariah, Henry L. and Susie, two of whom preceded her in death, Eliza J.. In 1879, and Henry L., in 1884. She became suddenly ill on Thursday, only a week ago, and nothwithstanding all that able physician, faithful nurse, loving care of neighbors and children could do. the patient, loving, Christian mother went to her wellearned, peaceful sleep on August 3, 1911, nged eighty-four years, five ■ months and sixteen days. For more than sixty-five years she was a faithful member of the Meth--1 odist Episcopal church, as were her i father and mother, and as also are all her children. She lived on the farm on which she died, nearly sixty-two years. All of the neighbors of her early married life, many of whom she had nursed in sickness and wept with in sorrow have long since died and 1 in this community she was the last of those early, heroic, industrious, God.earing pioneers, whose like we will hardly see again. Her early forest home was the re- ' treat of the traveler and pioneer preacher, and she was glad to sacri- , flee to advance the kingdom of God, • or feed the hungry way farer. After the death of her husband her life for several years was filled with toil, struggle and many hardships to keep together, raise and educate her children, but in the latter years her life was free from toil or care and she lived in ease and contentment that she had so well earned. Her daily life was a perpetual example of what she wished her children tc, be. At her knee and from her lips they learned those things that make i real men and women. Her conception of Christianity was i that practice must keep in exact step with profession; she, therefore, hated sham, and often said so. She was a devout Bible student and by her example inculcated in her children love and reverence for its sacred teachings and one of the pictures her children will never forget was mother in the old log house, under the tall window, j reading the book and instructing them in the ways of life. She died with the love and respect of her neighbors and all who knew ! her. Her life is worthy of emulation. With all her children around her bed she slept without a struggle and has gone to that rest that remaineth to the people of God.

RUMOR OF DEATH. A rumor this afternoon went the rounds that Dr. Battel Clark of New Haven, a brother of Drs. C. S. and D. D. Clark, this city, was dead, and much anxiety was caused among the relatives until the true report was learned, which stated that he had suffered a sinking spell, but was still alive. The doctor has been in very ipoor health with typhoid pneumonia for some days, and is at present lying at the point of death. His brother, C. S. Clark, left this afternoon to be at his bedside. o__ — Miss Mabelle Richard of Bluffton is the guest of her cousin, Miss Emma Schultz, of this city.

Colchin, and also visited with their step-mother, Mrs. Colchin. who is a patient at the St. Joseph hospital, Fort Wayne.
